# Eidetic
Eidetic is an app for improving and testing your working memory. All you need to do is press the buttons in the right order.
It's harder than it looks.
[

Or download the latest APK from the [Releases Section](https://github.com/hathibelagal-dev/Eidetic-Memory-Trainer/releases/latest).
## Background
The chimp test, also known as the Ayumu memory test, is a test designed to assess working memory.
It was popularized by a study conducted at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University in Japan, where chimpanzees demonstrated remarkable short-term memory abilities.
Chimps seem to, effectively, have a photographic memory (eidetic memory).
Untrained humans generally perform significantly worse than chimpanzees on the chimp test. So, this app trains you.
The hope is that we can eventually match or beat chimp records.
## Gameplay
- Numbers from 1 to 9 are displayed randomly
- You must memorize the positions of the numbers
- Once you press **1**, all buttons display a **?**
- You need to then use your memory to press **2**, **3**, ... **9**.
- It's game over if you press the wrong button.
## Two Game Modes
### Easy Mode
To make things slightly easier, this app gives you two hearts(you can see them in the appbar). Anytime you make a mistake, a heart is consumed. Once you don't have any hearts left, if you make a mistake, it's game over.
### Hard Mode
You don't have any hearts. You either play without making any mistakes or you lose.
## Screenshots
We support multiple scripts.
### Latin
### Japanese/Chinese
### Khmer
